Pay Day Candy Bar Memories

When I was a kid, there was a small candy store in my town that my friends and I would go to after school to get a sugar fix. One day while browsing the countless counters of lovely confectioneries, I noticed something that caught my eye, a payday bar. Being a peanut fan, I figured I would give it a shot. The candy was simply amazing. I can still remember that day in the candy store every time that I bite into one of them.

It is just one of those things that really make me remember my childhood, and all the great times my friends and I had together. Spending time in the summer building forts in the river, and then going into the candy store, dirty up to the neck with mud, and getting a payday. Such a wonderful product that takes me back to the days of my childhood. ~ Dan from Pennsylvania
